In NavigatorSearch, multiple instances of the same record are removed or "de-duped" automatically, and the one with the highest relevance ranking score is displayed. Note, however, it is possible that some duplicates may not be detected. Duplicates are removed by comparing the following citation metadata:
- Title
- Author
- Date published
- ISSN or Journal name or ISBN
Duplicate results are removed from your results as you page through the result list. The total number of results will reflect the duplicates having been removed when you reach the end. Therefore, there is no true confirmation of removed duplicates until your last page of results, as shown in the image below.
